The church of San Martín, where Hernán Cortés was baptized, it is closed to the public. It ceased to be a place of worship more than a century ago and that liturgical abandonment took its toll on the temple. Anyway, the pile where the conqueror of Mexico received the waters of baptism cannot be seen.
